Thailand’s Crypto ETF Expansion May Soon Open Doors for XRP and Other Altcoins

The post Thailand Approves Bitcoin for Derivatives Market, Crypto ETFs Could Follow appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Thailand just opened the door for Bitcoin in its regulated derivatives market. The Thai Cabinet approved changes to the country’s Derivatives Act that allow digital assets like Bitcoin to be used as underlying assets for futures and options contracts.

The country’s crypto market is already valued at $3.19 billion, with an average daily trading volume of $95 million. That existing liquidity gives the derivatives push a solid base to build on.

Now, the real work begins.

What the SEC Will Do Next

Following the Cabinet’s approval, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will amend the Derivatives Act B.E. 2546 and begin drafting new licensing and oversight rules. The regulator is also working with the Thailand Futures Exchange (TFEX) to set contract specifications for crypto-linked derivatives.

The SEC is also reviewing licensing frameworks for derivatives brokers, exchanges, and clearinghouses.

Bitcoin Futures and Crypto ETFs on the Radar

The SEC’s 2026 capital markets plan includes Bitcoin futures and crypto exchange-traded funds.

Deputy Secretary-General Jomkwan Kongsakul said last month that crypto ETFs could launch early this year, subject to legal amendments.

Binance Thailand Reacts

Nirun Fuwattananukul, CEO of Binance Thailand, called the move a “watershed moment” for the country’s capital markets.

He added that digital assets are now seen as assets that can reshape capital markets.

Crypto Payments Still Banned

Worth noting: while Thailand is welcoming institutional crypto activity, the central bank still bans crypto payments. The government also launched an anti-money laundering campaign in January targeting crypto-linked “gray money.”

The next steps to watch are the SEC’s rule drafting timeline, TFEX product launches, and whether this puts pressure on Singapore and Hong Kong to keep pace.

Alabama Crimson Tide greats Patrick Surtain II and Terrion Arnold are debuting a new podcast called “Closed On Sundays.” (Photo by Justin Edmonds/Getty Images) Getty Images Patrick Surtain II and Terrion Arnold may not have played at the same time with the Alabama Crimson Tide, but they share a lot in common during their NFL careers. The two standout cornerbacks not only played at Alabama, they did so under legendary head coach Nick Saban. That path that started in Tuscaloosa led to both players being selected in the first round of the NFL draft, where they now serve as the No. 1 cornerbacks of their respective teams. In Surtain II’s case, he’s the reigning Defensive Player of the Year and regarded as one of the top overall players as a member of the Denver Broncos. In Arnold’s case, he’s coming off of a solid rookie campaign with the Detroit Lions. Considering their backgrounds, it’s no surprise that the two are pairing up to form their first podcasts together called “Closed On Sundays.” The weekly series will see the two share stories from an on-field perspective and behind the scenes, along with featuring weekly guests. It’s an interesting dynamic considering the 25-year-old Surtain II – even though he’s the more established of the duo – is more reserved whereas as the 22-year-old Arnold is more outspoken and is not afraid to give headline-worthy quotes. The Lions cornerback arguably gave the quote of the year shortly after he was drafted when he said he would jam his mom into the dirt if she lined up across him as a receiver. “It meshes well because Terrion may say the things that I may not say or may not come out of my mouth,” says Surtain II in a one-on-one interview. “It’s good to…
